I've not bought that "IL4s are bland" crap. The induction roar on the 6r and 10r is intoxicating and I love the howl you get as you spank it.

ZX10R Review

Fitted the GB Racing covers today and in addition to the obvious crash protection they provide I think the Black Covers in addition with the Carbon Heel Guards I recently fitted help improve the looks and make the package look more finished 8)

Did you clean your air filter out after the trip this year, Blade?

Its an improvement with the carbon heel guards and case covers. :)

I know you wouldn't go for it Blade but I reckon a carbon fibre front mudguard would really set that bike off nicely.

No issue with the green one, just my personal taste. I still like carbon.

Cheers guys appreciate the comments.

I'm happy with it green tbh Kwacky and besides I'm trying hard not to mod any further I think I have got her how I like her. Good balance of looks, performance and tech imo (lol)

It looks spot on and the add ons are subtle.

It's me and my carbon fetish (devil)

Haha carbon fetish.

Tbh I don't think carbon suits the green and black of my bike. A mate on the zx10r forum fitted a lot of carbon to his zx10r and it looked too blingy imo :?

Some bikes suit carbon and some don't and I perosnally think the green and black on my ten is better as is. I only fitted the carbon heel guards to get rid of the shiny alloy oem heel guards.

Probably one of the better zx10s ive seen. Not a huge fan of the standard 10r looks but i like that.
